lieye they had been transformed into
sprites and fairies, so lightly would they
bound into the air and skip over the
ground. As by magic ninety-eigbt one
hundredths of their weight would fall
from them, and they would find them
selves weighing only half pound. But
neither will an inhabitant of Jupiter
ever visit one of Jupiter's moons, nor
dweller on one of those moons ever visit
Jupiter, unless people are very differently
constituted out yonder from what they
are here. And so, until future discoveries
have enlightened us, we may content
ourselves with the curious mental picture
of this huge planet inhabited by pigmies,
and its attendant little planets Inhabited
by giants, swinging on together in their
journey around the sun--a most strange
but apparently happy family Of worlds.

comparison we have adopted its inhabit-
ants might grow to height of 100 feet
and over. Being situated at distance
from Jupiter only a little greater
than three times the diameter of
that huge globe, the latter would shine
in the sky of this moon with an appar-
ent diameter of some twenty degrees
that is to say, Jupiter would appear to its
inhabitants 1000 times as large as our
moon looks to us-a celestial phenomenon
of almost unimaginable magnificence. If
we accept the strongly probable theory
that Jupiter is still very hot, we see that
it would, to large degree, be able to
take the place of the sun in supplying
both light and heat to dwellers upon its
moons
There would be considerable difference
in the stature of the inhabitants of the
different moons of Jupiter owing to their
various sizes and densities, and Jupiter
would not look so large from the other
three moons as il would from the first.
Still, even from the outermost moon the
giant planet would appear many times
larger than our moon does to u.s.
When we come to compare the pigmy
inhabitants that we may reasonably sup.
pose inhabit Jupiter, IL he is as vet
fitted for any inhabitants whatever, with
the enormous giants who may be sup
posed to dwell upon his moons, we have
a most interesting contrast; for Jupiter
and his moons form sort of system by
themselves. If the Goliaths of Jupiter's
moons could effect landing upon
Jupiter, 1t might at first thought
